A dining destination

I have tried almost everything on the menu as well as many of their daily specials. I have never been dissapointed. The inventiveness in which chef Dominic combines quality ingredients and seasonings is not to be found anywhere else in Ft Lauderdale. The ambiance is relaxing and service is superb. The Mussles Monday special is always a hit when taking new people to try a fun evening. Ask to meet the owners, Anthony and Dominic, and you will become part of a family experience.

Dishes Tried:

fried calamari

This twist on a standard is served with a Japanese 7 spice sauce which is sweet and spicy.

Duck Breast

This wonderful dish consists of sliced duck breast to order pan roasted with sauteed red kraut and apples. The creamy cauliflower and goat cheese puree are perfect compliments to the rasberry butter which accompanies the duck.

Jumbo lump crab cakes

Coming from the Virginia, Maryland area I am used to excellent crab cakes and these rival any I have had. Packed with large lumps of crab they are served with a spicy mango sauce. with hints of toasted coconut. My guests zero in on this entre and all agree it is superb

A Touch of Magic

My friend and I found Mojo to be fresh and new, different from the usual “fru-fru” fusion style restaurants, and excitingly flavorful and bright. The ambiance was clean, light, and beautiful, without being gaudy. Original artwork, produced by the chef, himself, is displayed throughout the restaurant, even in the restrooms! The staff was enthusiastic and upbeat, excited about the menu and knowledgeable about the ingredients and preparation. Although moderately priced, one has to go with an open mind because the value is definitely worth the expense.

We had dinner on a Friday evening and enjoyed live music after 9pm and a wonderful homemade sangria which was made with acai berry. On Mondays and Thursdays Mojo has a Dinner and DJ special with $6 specialty drinks — Happy Hour runs until closing.

Dishes Tried:

Truffle Chips

Very thin and light waffle-cut chips, cooked in truffle oil and topped with gorgonzola dressing and bacon bits, this treat was indescribably delicious!

Mojo Caesar Salad

This is a fresh, bright, authentic Caesar salad. You taste the hint of anchovy in the dressing. The best Caesar salad I’ve had in over 10 years.

Arugula "Rocket" salad

An absolutely yummy, peppery salad, is generous enough that, when shrimp, steak, crab meat or other items are added, serves well as a meal. This is not one of those layered salads which feature one ingredient piled upon another, but a freshly tossed salad of greens and thinly-sliced red onion, lightly coated with an unusually tasty dressing of balsamic vinegar and lemon. Rich red tomatoes garnished this dish and added depth to the flavor.

Duck Rissoto

This was a Special of the Dday and the rissoto,duck, and asparagus tips were cooked in a creamy goat cheese and topped with an asparagus parmesan coulis. It was a flavorful treat, generous on the duck and asparagus, with the creamy rissoto not getting overpowered by the saffron.

Mocha Creme Brule

Wow! It was hard not to lick the dish! This was smooth, with lots of coffee flavor, and nicely torch-glazed — you didn’t need a jack hammer to break through the crust. There were no “gaps” in the glaze, either. Worth saving some room for.
